The Elephants of New York

 It is said that if an elephant is chained for a long time, it will no longer try to leave even when it is set free.  The Daily Wire asked some enlightened New Yorkers why they are wearing masks outside if they are fully vaccinated against the Covid-19 virus.  The answers were rather interesting.  Enjoy.

Always tough in these highly politicized agenda driven videos to know how much of this is staged or heavily edited to drive home their points. They could easily make the exact same video in Mississippi about those who refuse to get vaccinated.

This is pitiful. I didn't want to, but I got the vaccine as an olive branch as a return to normalcy. These people are making me regret that decision. We will never return to normal with these cultists stalking the country.

I like to wear masks, because:
- It reduces my seasonal allergy symptoms, and I really do not miss them
- I did not get any respiratory infection of any kind in the last 12 month, and I really do not miss them either
- yes, I am fully vacced, but sometimes vaccinations do not work for an individual (I was vacced three times against hepatitis b, my body never developed a titer…)
- after wearing masks for a year (job in crowded public) I do not mind it anymore, I can hardly feel the mask

But best of all, I can raise some people's blood pressure! Enjoy!

12:43, since you enjoy posting links, please include a link where anyone told you that being vaccinated meant you cannot contact covid?

This same demographic demanded that all citizens must wear a mask last year and told us we were selfish if we said it was uncomfortable.

Now they argue that they should have the freedom to choose to continue to wear them because they are uncomfortable without them?

Grand over dramatization, but how amusing if small businesses refused entry to these folks for security reasons, while wearing a mask now, and they were forced to take their pacifier off.

I will absolutely wear a mask when I get sick and have to go out in public. A couple years ago I got both strains of the Flu. I went straight to Kroger and picked up some surgical masks for when I had to go to the grocery store (I was still single and living by myself). There is no reason to wear a mask in the open fresh air.

I totally understand why wearing one indoors in recirculated air (how do you think air conditioning works?), especially if you work a full shift indoors, but wearing one outdoors is the height of idiocy.

@ 12:39 I am truly sad for you and people like you. This world is way to wonderful to walk around masked up. I understand you have become used to it but it sucks and you have accepted it. you will certainly find a way to justify the next loss of liberty you are subjected to. It does not make me mad as you stated. I just really feel for you.

@ 12:39 I like you wearing a mask. Its like the Affliction T-shirts and white rimmed sunglasses. I can spot a D-Bag from 50 feet and avoid them. With you I can tell you are hardcore liberal sheep and avoid you as well.

Anyone still wearing a mask at this point is suffering from mental illness and should seek help.

At this point, its your own personal decision concerning your life. Wear a mask, or not. Your choice.

Vaccine or not-your choice.

Conditions and can't get vaccinated: N95 masks (or KN95) work well. Wear them if you want to.

Those with allergies: wear them when you feel the need to.

Have a cold, flu, or sinus infection? If you can't stay at home, please wear one to not spread your germs. Be considerate of others. Work isn't that important.


Are some people really going to wear them in public for the rest of their lives? Never eat in a restaurant again? I get it from March 2020-May 2021. Sure! Write those 14 months off-understand completely. But if not now, then when?

During March 1–December 31, 2020, state-issued mask mandates applied in 2,313 (73.6%) of the 3,142 U.S. counties. Mask mandates were associated with a 0.5 percentage point decrease (p = 0.02) in daily COVID-19 case growth rates 1–20 days after implementation and decreases of 1.1, 1.5, 1.7, and 1.8 percentage points 21–40, 41–60, 61–80, and 81–100 days, respectively, after implementation (p<0.01 for all) (Table 1) (Figure). https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e3.htm

@2:07 - underwear and shorts and shirts suck too, especially here in Mississippi in summer, but you wear them. You lost your freedom!

Ah yes, New York, New York. The home of manly women and girly men. The epicenter of group think. I'll drink to that.

I had three routine medical appointments today. All three doctors' offices required masks at all times even if patients are vaccinated, as I am. So, as long as the docs require us to mask, we will continue to mask.

I go grocery shopping early in the morning as soon as the store opens. Few people are there and the ones who are able to get their asses to the store early tend to be elderly, respectful of social distancing and wear masks. But when a morbidly obese mama shows up in her flipflops, greasy hair, cutoff jean shorts and stained t-shirt with her 4 or 5 snot-nosed undisciplined kids, I go to a different aisle till they leave.

You can wear whatever you want, but you should not spread your germs however you want. Or do you think restaurant workers should skip hand washing in the bathroom, too?

I read the articles you posted. It states that most of these doctors have mild symptoms at worst. The Covid vaccine does not keep you from getting Covid; however, it GREATLY reduces deaths as well as the need for hospitalization. The vaccine is doing its job.

It’s pretty simple. Get vaccinated.

The fewer people that contract COVID, the fewer chances the virus has to mutate. Maybe you didn’t get sick from the first round, but if left to mutate an infinite amount of times, it will turn more and more virulent and deadly — eventually, you will get sick.

If you want to cut your nose off to spite your face, you do you. But over time, you WILL get sick. It’s a mathematical certainty. If you want to roll the dice and risk killing off your loved ones (no one REALLY give a shit if you crash your car into a tree — as long as granny isn’t strapped into the front seat with you) — I think that’s an incredibly stupid choice. I couldn’t live with that guilt.

If you want to be rid of it, get vaccinated. Then who gives a shit about a mask.

If we could ge clear consistent message it would help. But again I dont care if you wear one. We should all have a little patience with each other during this time. I keep one close if everyone wants to wear a mask ok I have one.
But we should not attack anyone who does or doesn't wear a mask. But I dont understand the statement even if Im vaccinated I wear a mask because I don't trust other people. We either have protection from the shot or not. Shoot us straight

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
